THE PASTORS MESSAGE

BY PASTOR HECTOR DE GUZMAN Ephesians 5:15-16

As we focus on the years ahead of us we will be good stewards of whatever God gives us. This concept of stewardship begins with the recognition that God is the owner of everything and everyone on earth. The Bible says, The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord; the earth and all who live on it are his.(Psalm 24:1 TEV) We never really own anything during our brief stay on earth. God just loans it to us while were here. It was Gods property before you arrived, and God will loan it to someone else after you die. You just get to enjoy it for a while. The first job God gave humans was to manage and take care of Gods stuff on earth. It is a part of our purpose today. Everything we enjoy is to be treated as a trust that God has placed in our hands. Jesus often referred to life as a trust and told many stories to illustrate our responsibility toward God. At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you. That means everything you do, even simple daily chores, has eternal implications. If you treat everything as a trust, God promises three rewards in eternity. First, you will be given Gods affirmation: He will say, Good job! Well done! Next, you will receive a promotion and be given greater responsibility in eternity: I will put you in charge of many things. Then you will be honored with a celebration: Come and share your Masters happiness.

It doesnt matter what the crowd Believes about the Lord. What matters is: Do you believe What God says in His Word?
